Title: An improved apparatus for opening up peat or the like by grinding or the like
IPC: C10G5/04
Filed: 1926-03-31
Abstract: 267,335. Marks, E. C. R., (Akt.-Ges. fiir Handelsund Industrie-Werte Glarus). March 31, 1926. Peat, preparing.-In apparatus for opening-up peat or the like by grinding &c., the material is forced against the surface of a rotating rubbing or grinding disc arranged opposite a rubbing surface, the rubbing or grinding surface of the rotating disc being formed by the ends of thin tools which stand erect with respect to the grinding plane of the opposing rubbing surface. As shown, Fig. 1, the peat is fed from a hopper 1 by a cranked shaft 2 to worm 3 which conveys or presses it towards the dished part 4 between stone grinders or cutters 5, 6. The rotating cutter 6 and worm 3 are carried by a shaft 11 adjustable by means of a lever 10, and the shaft 2 is driven through gearing 12, 13 from the shaft 11. The operating surface of the disc 6 is formed by the edges of thin plates 16, Fig. 3, fixed to the hub part of the disc. Or the plates 16 may be pivoted, so that under the action of centrifugal force they erect themselves and their sharp edges or ends move closely along the surface of the stationary disc 5, and thereby tear and break up the peat. In Fig. 5, the rotary disc is fitted with radiallydisposed tools 18, which have grinding-ends and are adjustable by means of screws 20. In another arrangement, the peat is fed from an extrusion press through an eccentric opening in a stationary disc of metal or coarse emery and is cut to pieces by the sharp ends of plates on the rotary disc, after which it is ground as it passes outwards between the discs. Both discs may rotate in the same or in opposite directions. In Fig. 8, the peat is forced through a pipe 52 and passes between a stationary member 41 and sharp wire bristles 43 carried by a rotating conical member 55. The rotating member may be parabolic and have a sieve or perforated rim 56, Fig. 9, at its periphery through which water present in the peat being thrown out over the rim. Fig. 10 shows apparatus with a conical perforated rim 59 carried by members 61 - - 64. Angular, cylindrical funnel-shaped, or barred-shaped perforated rims may be used. The removable metal, wooden, &c. segments which carry the brushes may be inserted between angles or T-pieces of the disc and be provided with means for preventing them from flying out. The apparatus may be arranged horiozontally or vertically. Steam or hot air may be introduced between the grinding-plates, or the plates may be heated by electricity, gas, steam, &c.

Title: Optical system for photographic apparatus
IPC: G02B15/14
Filed: 1964-03-02
Abstract: 1,061,741. Photographic objectives. K. VOCKENHUBER. March 2, 1964 [March 1, 1963], No.8776/64. Heading G2J. In a zoom photographic objective it may be difficult to place the diaphragm in the desired position as the aperture may have to be varied in accordance with the focal length to keep the relative aperture constant and accordingly the objective 1, 2, 3, Fig. 1 which forms an image at B1 is provided with an inverting system 7 which transforms the intermediate image at B1 into a real image at B2 in the plane of the film the diaphragm being placed at B1II between B1 and B2 so that in effect an image of the diaphragm is formed at B1II by means of a field lens 6 adjacent B1. As shown applied to a zoom lens wherein negative lens 3 is movable to effect variation of focal length and positive lens 1 is moved to compensate for image shift, the effective position B1II of the diaphragm varies according to the focal length. A viewfinder semi-transparent mirror 9 may be inserted before the diaphragm so that the image at B3 viewed by eyepiece 10 does not vary with aperture setting. The inverting system may have a magnification differing from unity so that an objective producing an intermediate image suitable for 8 mm film can have a magnifying inverting system associated therewith to produce an image for 16 mm film. Alternatively an objective for 16 mm film can be used with 8 mm film. To produce a zoom ratio of 10 to 1 or more an objective (33)-(35), Fig. 10 (not shown) having a movable negative member (34) is associated with an inverting system (37) which is also movable so that part of the variation in focal length is caused by member (34) and part by system (37). Moreover if due to variation of member (34) the intermediate image position varies, this can be corrected by suitable movement of system (37) so that the final image (B2) is in a constant plane. Numerical data are provided for the focal lengths of the various members and their spacings for six examples.

Title: Improvements relating to weft pattern mechanisms for looms
IPC: D03D47/38
Filed: 1968-02-23
Abstract: 1,216,762. Shuttleless looms; weft selection mechanism. SULZER BROS. Ltd. 23 Feb., 1968 [27 April, 1967], No. 8973/68. Heading D1E. A gripper shuttle loom has a weft selection mechanism controlled by the jacquard. Selection may be from two, four or six wefts and selection from four wefts is described. The selector 21 (Fig. 3) is tilted to any of four positions by a rod 45 which is pivoted to a lever 42, 43 which is acted upon by two bell crank levers 36, 37 to set the rod 45 in any of the four positions (see Fig. 6). The selector is locked in position by a roller 53 and selection is made prior to movement of the selector and the face required to move the selector is stored in the period between selection and movement. Jacquard cords 85 (Fig. 7) act on two spring loaded levers 122 to tilt them if selected. Tilting of a lever 122 loads a telescopic member 115 which acts on a lifting plate 91 which is pivoted about 93 on a lever 28. Pivoting of the plate 91 is prevented by a withdrawable peg 137. Each lifting plate 91 is acted on by either of two oppositely moving cam operated pegs 102, 103 and vertical movement of a plate 91 pivots the lever 28 to load telescopic units 30 or 31 which act on the lever 42, 43 to give the required one of four positions. In use the jacquard cords 85 act on the levers 122 to load the telescopic members 115, on withdrawal of the peg 137 the lifting plates 91 are tilted about 93 so they may be acted on by the oppositely moving pegs 102, 103, vertical movements of the plates 91 loads the telescopic units 30 so that when the roller 53 is withdrawn the selector may rapidly move to the selected position. The mechanism is tuned so that the jacquard cords are operated two picks in advance.
